marty shwarz and justin are great but really have to give a massive shout out to jason read who teaches all of the tunes that all the other guitar tutors just do not play

+1 for Jason Read, who’s just great as a teacher, tackles all sorts of eclectic stuff with aplomb in an approachable way, and is a lovely fellow to boot.

Also, esp. for his Marc Ribot breakdowns, the maestro Eric Haugen.

hey guitar buddies, today we're gonna learn .......

If you like Funk/Soul/Disco/80's R&B then Dave Price, Eric Blackmon and Morrisman are really helpful.

There is a channel called "How to Play Easy Guitar" which covers a lot of Pop stuff too.

Deleted my comments on his channel when I ( very politely) pointed out what he wasn’t doing right. Hmmm.
He does turn out a lot of stuff, some interesting songs certainly.

I like tab ,

andy_k · July 2020

There are a few, I started out with Steve Stein, but I think anyonecanplay guy is very good, it must be difficult for them with copyright stuff these days, and in a wider vein I have recently started watching Guy Mitchelomore for his theory lessons, he has a compelling style which is a bit wearing after a while, but makes stuff fun.
That is the point really--it should be fun.

Definitely the video talking through the various sections (ie playing scale x in position y, hitting these notes and how they relate to key and chord structure) - and identifying key parts that need attention and the associated technique - definitely not stating which string and fret number or relying on me to work out what’s being played from your hand position! but with tab download so I can quickly see the entirety pattern/song and don’t have to find/rewind the video to learn in my own time.

I posted this on the wrong thread so reposting here.

I like clarity of presentation, musicality and feel.

I used to follow Shutup & Play. The Crossroads tutorial is an absolute classic (link at end of this post). I was surprised to see there are new uploads, so I need to revisit.

There's even a comment by Tim Pierce from 5 years ago, one of my other favourite guitar tutors on Youtube.

I'm also a big fan of Martin Miller.

Yeah lots of playing at start then a breakdown of the phrases with explanations which is how I normally teach.

But they have a donation page but do people pay donations to keep a channel like this running? Or would you be a patreon or buy a one off transcription? Or only if it’s free ?

Well if I've learned nothing else from this thread, it's that former newsreader Guy Michelmore is now a film and TV composer! I had no idea, that's absolutely fascinating.

I'm following that Guy

as I'm more interesting in composing than just guitar playing these days.
I also like Jeff Schneider, although he seems to be producing less output these days.

Philly_Q · July 2020

I'm too lazy to ever practice or try to learn anything new, but I sometimes watch Ben Eller's clips because I find him entertaining and he covers musical styles I like. Teaching-wise he explains things in ways I can understand, even if it doesn't inspire me to actually go and pick up a guitar.

On screen is always a bonus I have someone I follow on Patreon though who provides PDF’s of his covers .

Informative and hilarious. If only all online tutorials were like this.

How have I not seen this feller before now? I'm usually averse to playing scales let alone learning about them......but I tried a few out after watching this vid and found it all rather good. At the least, I've found notes above the seventh fret that I didn't know before.

Blueingreen · July 2020

I've been looking at Dave Price quite a lot recently because he's a good player and he's covering territory I'm interested in both on the rhythm and solo side. Sometimes I think his explanations could be clearer but I think that's true of just about all Youtube teachers. They are still an invaluable resource and I'm grateful for them.

I do like tab on a teaching video, it can clarify stuff that isn't as well communicated by the video as it might be. In fact playing a piece at normal speed, and then slowed down with tab on screen is maybe the most efficient way of teaching a part.

I'm even happier with standard notation but fully understand why it's much less common.

...and of course Justin

You should try his live clinics...

@dean111music - are you going to start your own channel then mate ?

Do you have any samples of videos thus far ?

Howdy, Stranger!
